Today the congress is seeking a vote to set firm dates for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq. While this is a democrat issue, there are sure to be some republicans who vote for it as well.
To be clear, this is not a plan for victory. This is not a plan to achieve what might be needed for Iraq. It is not a plan to succeed. It is not a plan to achieve anything at all! In fact, it isn't a plan at all. It is simply a way to insure that we lose in Iraq.
This disgraceful political move will destroy our status as a world leader. Who would be stupid enough to follow us into anything after we disgracefully cut and run (and hide) from this? What about our staunch allies who are already supporting our efforts in Iraq? We will be abandoning them as well!
Our enemies will think that the cowardness and selfishness of congress is indicative of us as a nation. They will be greatly emboldened to take action against us, knowing for sure that we don't have the will to fight back.
Perhaps the greatest price we'll pay for this gutless congress will be the damage that it does to our military. If the congressional dems succeed with this, why would/should our young men and women ever again trust congress to support them after commiting them to harms way? This action would make it clear that congress is willing to send our troops into harms way, but not willing to spend the political capital to let them succeed. It shows that the dems in congress are perfectly willing to send the troops into combat, get thousands killed, and then say "never mind"!
I can't think of a clearer or more dispicable way to show our military just how little they are valued!
Democratic incumbents are responsible for this. They came up with it and they are pushing it. They are 100% responsible for the results. Others who go along with them are certainly no better. They're probably worse!
